Under 140, accept eating wierd. August 1, 2010 historybuff This is just what I needed---with an A1c of 9.1 and heading north (getting 200's fasting) on orals and getting worse. I already dropped to 8.0. Book also contains Important truths regarding various oral meds, some negatives that I needed to know. I was NOT getting good info before--I know at least 2 peoplewith different doctors that have been told by their docs they're fine as long as they keep their glucose under 200! This book helped me to surrender to the idea that I would eat weird in order to achieve these goals......and that I would accept paying extra for strips to learn how. Very good book, and thx for writing it. (Never thought I'd take medical advice from a bus. exc., and a seismoligist :) (sp)) The Definitive Distillation Of Diabetes Info For New Diabetics July 13, 2010 Gadget Hound 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I learned more from reading this little book than I did in attending my diabetes course at the local hospital. I highly recommend it for all diabetics since it is a treasure trove of well-documented medical information. I can't recommend it more highly. An Absolute Must Read June 5, 2010 J. Bito 2 out of 2 found this review helpful After you have read all the rest now read this and learn. This author has taken all the research that has been done and made sense of it. The diets that some nutritionists teach are not correct according to the research that has been done. You learn what the drugs are and how they work and why they are given, the book explains reasons for certain drugs and what you can expect and if you can overcome this deadly disease. If you can only read one book this is the one. Practical down-to-earth guide May 7, 2010 Iona Tamsin Stewart (Odense, Denmark) 11 out of 16 found this review helpful This is a different sort of book than the other diabetes books I've read. It is a practical, down-to-earth guide to managing the disease in the best possible way. The book contains a lot of useful information about blood sugar tests, the various types of diabetes, blood sugar levels and organ damage and how to lower your blood sugar. The author explains how the best option for diabetes sufferers is to follow a low carbohydrate, high-fat diet. In the latter respect she differs from another diabetes author I've recently reviewed, who insists that an absolutely low-fat diet is essential for diabetes 2 patients, at any rate, since he claims an excess of fat increases insulin resistance. Moreover, Ruhl fails to distinguish between harmful fats and beneficial oils, classifying them all under the same category. She is herself a diabetic and has a wide knowledge of the whole field. She provides us with detailed information about both the various diabetes drugs and forms of insulin. I have never found information like this in any other book. An important point Ruhl makes is that organ damage will occur when blood sugar levels repeatedly rise to 140 mg/dl or over. According to her, doctors are generally permissive of these dangerous blood levels over 140 mg/dl, but in my view it would be wise to heed her advice and ensure by means of the low carbodhydrate diet she prescribes that your own blood sugar levels do not reach this level. Incidentally, it is the diabetes author Dr. Bernstein's opinion that levels above 90 mg/dl can be harmful, in that mortality levels are greater for these individuals. I must admit I have difficulty in understanding why one would want to use any of the diabetes drugs she mentions, since all of them seem to be dangerous. However, the author explains which are most beneficial, or the lesser evil. She also includes a chapter about supplements, but in my opinion is overly negative about the benefits of most of them. An appendix lists low carb treats, but unfortunately the recipes are based on the inclusion of the artificial sweetener Splenda, which research indicates may be harmful. This book has not helped me much personally, since I would be unlikely ever to consider the use of diabetes drugs or insulin, but I'm sure it could be a considerable help to those who do use these products, and most of her advice is absolutely sensible and helpful and could be life-saving.(I understand that many diabetes sufferers feel or are obliged to use insulin, since their pancreas can no longer produce it.)
